7-Eleven x Hello Kitty “Joy to the Word” 2015 Promotion

Share This Story to :

The holiday season is coming up. Like previous years, popular convenience chain store 7-Eleven in Hong Kong is launching a new set of collectable toys. Although, I thought 7-11 would join the Snoopy craze (since MTR and Hong Kong McDonalds are launching some special designed products due to the upcoming new Snoopy and Peanuts movie), Hong Kong’s 7-Eleven decided to stick with Sanrio and Hello Kitty.

The promotion will be available starting from December 2nd, 2015. Similar to previous editions, this year’s edition has a special theme. Recently, the Tsum Tsum characters became quite hot.

Btw in case you are not familiar and asking yourself what “Tsum Tsum” is:

Tsum Tsum derives from the Japanese word tsumu meaning to stack. Hence, the plush toys are designed in a cute way that they can be stack e.g. to a pyramid or tower.

This year’s 7-Eleven Hello Kitty toys are designed as Tsum Tsum characters with a special feature. Each character is actually a colorful marker which can be used for drawing and writing (that’s the reason the theme is named “Joy to the Word”). The Hello Kitty and Dear Daniel are the magic pen with multi-colors which can be used to combine other characters.

The 7-Eleven x Hello Kitty “Joy to the Word” will be again in two phases. The first phase “Rainbow Playground” includes Sanrio’s characters Hello Kitty, Dear Daniel, My Melody, lazy egg Gudetama, Chococat, Tuxedosam, Little Twin Stars Kiki & Lala, Kerokerokeroppi, Hangyodon, Pompompurin as well as one of the characters from The Runabouts.

Similar to previous 7-Eleven x Hello Kitty promotion, 7-Eleven will launch 2 additional limited edition Hello Kitty figures each time for Christmas, Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day.
